Dev.to vs Quotes on Design

Dev.to's API (built on the open-source Forem platform) exposes articles, users, comments and other community content as JSON, with most read endpoints open to the public and write/user-scoped endpoints requiring a key. A live GET against the real gateway, dev.to/api/articles, returned genuine article JSON while carrying Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *, resolving cors unknown -> yes; no key was required for this public read call, though write endpoints still require the documented API Key. Free for community use with no paid tier — pricingModel free.

Quotes on Design is a WordPress site publishing curated design-inspiration quotes, whose standard WP-JSON REST endpoints (quotesondesign.com/wp-json/) expose the full post archive as read-only JSON. A live GET against wp-json/wp/v2/posts returned a genuine paginated post list while echoing Access-Control-Allow-Origin back to the sent Origin header, resolving cors unknown -> yes; no key was required, reconfirming auth None.
